Orca - Lo!

I shame you

Cause me to droop

Drain my collagen

I shame you

A captive orca’s fin

A mast unsettling

Uncertainty is sown

You’ll expose no hope now

Our ship is on fire

Soul-less pursuit of natures effigy

All hail the hunter

Death throes and thunder sear in my horrors

Rebranding the circus as beauty ensnared by the weak

I guess some creatures were bred for abuse

Higher mammals — they’re always muzzled

Pre-sale the tickets while you’re still breaking them in

Beasts of greater worth

Plagued by chimps atop highest perch

Mark these words

Unable to weep

The tongueless will haunt us

Unable to speak
